Trivo Lab exists because the tools built to measure team health were never built by people who ship software.
Founder, Trivo Lab
Mats has spent 30 years writing software and the last stretch of that career working as an Agile Coach, sitting inside sprint planning, retros, and standups with teams trying to move faster without breaking. That vantage point is where Trivo Lab came from — not a boardroom, a backlog.
He's seen the same pattern repeat: a company rolls out a 40-question engagement survey, response rates collapse within two cycles, and the team learns nothing it didn't already know from the last retro. Meanwhile the actual signal — how flow felt this sprint versus how it's remembered two weeks later — goes uncaptured entirely.
Most team-health tools were designed for HR departments, not engineering teams — long surveys on a quarterly cadence, generic questions, dashboards nobody on the team ever sees. They're built top-down, and agile teams lose momentum every time they're asked to stop and fill one out.
Trivo Lab measures three things instead of forty: morale, quality, and flow. It's built around the sprint, not around HR's reporting calendar — and it flags the gap between how a sprint felt in the moment and how the team remembers it at the retro, because that gap is usually where the real conversation is waiting.
